About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard for most bed and groundcover applications. If you want more coverage per yard, staying at 2 inches instead of 3 stretches your material further without sacrificing weed suppression once fabric is down. Measure your bed's square footage first, then order by the cubic yard rather than guessing with bags.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by year two. Edging material keeps rock from migrating into the lawn or driveway, especially useful along Longview's sloped front yards. Some customers pair rock borders with mulch in planting beds where they still want organic matter feeding the soil.

Areas we deliver landscape rock in Longview, Texas

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Longview's sandy loam, skip landscape fabric near established trees and shrubs that need root aeration, but use it everywhere else. Fabric plus rock creates a groundcover that can genuinely last a decade without disturbance, since our sandy soil won't heave the fabric loose the way clay-heavy regions sometimes do. Just know fabric traps falling leaves on top, so plan on an occasional blow-off in beds under oak or pecan trees.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is installing rock at 4 inches or deeper thinking it will suppress weeds better. It doesn't, and it wastes material fast. Stick to 2 to 3 inches over fabric. Anything deeper just adds cost without adding function, and it makes it harder to spot weed seedlings pushing through before they root into the fabric itself.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're doing a large front yard groundcover project, order landscape rock and edging material in the same delivery to save a trip. Rock pairs well with steel or paver edging in Longview yards with any slope, since loose rock migrates downhill during heavy spring rains if there's nothing holding the line. Bundling materials also means one delivery day instead of two.

Decorative Stone in Longview

Longview's sandy loam drains well already, so rock does not fight standing water the way it might in heavier clay soils. That same fast drainage means bare ground and thin turf show up quickly in the July and August heat, and rock groundcover covers that problem permanently instead of needing a spring refresh. With zone 8b winters staying mild, there is no frost heave to worry about once the base is set. Homeowners near the Arboretum area tend to use it for clean foundation borders that hold their look through Longview's long growing season.

What Landscape Rock Is

Landscape rock is stone chosen for how it looks as much as what it does. River rock is smooth and rounded, decomposed granite is fine and packs firm underfoot. Both are sold by the cubic yard for beds, borders, paths, and dry creek beds.

River Rock vs Decomposed Granite

River rock stays loose and rolls, so it suits beds, borders, and drainage runs where it can sit in place. Decomposed granite compacts into a firm surface, so it suits paths, patios, and anywhere you will walk or roll a wheelbarrow.

Depth and Coverage

Spread river rock 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric so it stays put and weeds stay down. Lay decomposed granite 3 to 4 inches deep, wet it, and compact it in lifts for a surface that sheds water instead of rutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer

Does landscape rock work well in Longview's clay and sandy soil mix?

Yes, landscape rock performs especially well over Longview's sandy loam since it already drains fast and won't trap water under the stone. Install fabric underneath first to stop weeds from pushing through, and the rock bed will hold its look through our hot summers without the settling issues heavier clay soils sometimes cause.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 1.85 cubic yards. Most people round up to 2 yards to account for uneven ground and to avoid running short before the job's finished.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock in Longview?

Anytime outside of the hottest stretch of summer works, but many people install in fall or early spring when soil is easier to work and temperatures are milder for the labor involved. Since rock is a one time install rather than a seasonal refresh, timing matters less than getting the fabric base right.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and do I need a clear driveway?

The truck places the load as close to your project area as access allows, typically a driveway or curbside spot you specify at checkout. Clear a path of roughly 10 to 12 feet width beforehand, and have a wheelbarrow ready if the rock needs to move further into the yard.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for my front yard beds?

Landscape rock makes sense for foundation borders, downspout areas, and beds you don't want to refresh yearly, since it's a one time install that holds its look for years. Mulch is better where plants need organic matter feeding the soil over time. Many Longview yards use both, rock near the house and mulch in planting beds.
